  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

    Fuente Unnamed Reserva 2013

    first one i had, i hated, because i was in an "opus" mindset, i wanted the thing to just scream at me. it is not that cigar. it needs to be nursed, and have your full attention, as it is a lot more subtle than i first expected. (and a BIG thank you for the reminder, man!) and i hav e had a...

    2014 BOTL Pipe?

    awesome, thanks for the leg work, man! also, to chime in on my view on this: while a cob is cool, it just doesn't have the emotional gravity that a briar does. if its from BotL, it's gotta COUNT. and i get the guys who think $250 is steep, as that is currently more than any two of my briars...

    2014 BOTL Pipe?

    just to chime in, yes, my "botl briar" is the nording valhalla 500whatever (can't recall right now) that was dropped into my lap as part of BBE IX. it was from the board, but not in any official way, per se. an amazing pipe in it's own right, but all the more cool because of how i got it...

    Big Fuente Dealers

    yup, this. also, from what i have seen, fuente is pretty guarded about their stuff in regard to internet sales. most of their stuff you don't find crazy deals on, because they don't DO crazy deals. hell, i think some stuff is not supposed to be sold online, like my beloved magR's IIRC...

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    late grocery run, raining like the bejeezus, but it's 60ish in december, so enjoying a new vault robo: burn went wonky quick, but the aforementioned humidity is the most likely culprit. o)

    What's in your bowl today

    i personally liked grey havens. as a tolkien nerd, i thought it was well named; quiet, contemplative, clean, and chill. not a big blend, nor showy, but something for a quiet moment.

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    looks like an unnamed '12, possibly? and, for fuente friday, a magR44 on a shop errand, 55F and just a little misty, windows open and screaming along to me first and the gimme gimme's cover of "danny's song". is a good day. o)

    CA Cigar of the Year?

    f'k it, i would agree with old #2 over a prensado any day. baby steps, right? and once again, my standard response: this list will NEVER be our list, but it is good for the industry, and it will make people look outside of their comfort zones, moreso than any other top cigar list. CA has a...

    Tin vs Bulk Pipe Tobacco

    there are a lot of shops that will buy bulks from standard people, lane ltd being the most prevelant and old school, and just rename them. or, they will have their own combinations of two or three standard bulks. actual shop blending is kinda rare, from what i can tell. not that that is an...
